Love the big orange poppies when they pop out.

Yesterday. Shot on iPhone 15 Pro.
May I ask what kind of a plant this is? I've never seen anything like it. Very cool!
I don't know. Took the shot on a neighborhood dog walk while i was petsitting a month ago. Lots of interesting plants/landscaping in the area.

I have a similar plant, I just know as a succulent. I cut the blooms off.
The sky from my deck yesterday evening~
My curiosity was aroused, too, by Snowlover's image, and after some poking around I learned that Allyance is indeed right, that this is a succulent. Apparently it is very prevalent in the Maltese islands but has also spread elsewhere to other warmer environments, too....
As much as I could determine, the official name is Aenonium Arboretum, Crassulaceae (hope I spelled that right!) and it is a kind of subshrub or little tree, more commonly known as "Tree Houseleek" or "Tree Aenium" or "Irish Rose." it's a succulent plant which flourishes primarily in the subtropics.
